Well, the $50 one probably works better than hacked up water pipe. The fittings, a close nipple and coupling, are for 1/2" water pipe. Yes, 1/2" water pipe is considerably larger on the outside.

I did not worry about marring the valve face. Yes, I extracted the keepers with a magnet, and no, I didn't use a machine shop -- I just wanted to fix the head without a trip to town for tools, etc. My favorite cleaner is kerosene and elbow grease. I asked an expert here (John Sargent) once about using something more like what they do in the hot tank at the machine shop, and he (wisely, by example) discouraged me from embarking on that path at home.
